Dual Credit at North Campus

Dual Credit is a form of concurrent enrollment allowing a student to take certain courses at San Jacinto College that earns both college and high school credit. Typically, students take two courses in the fall semester and two more in the spring for both their junior and senior year of high school. By doing this, students can graduate from high school with up to 24 hours of college credit! You can earn even more by taking summer courses.

Dual Credit at San Jacinto College is affordable. You pay only 30% of tuition and fees for classes that count toward both high school and college, and you may even be covered for that amount if you qualify for the Texas Public Education Grant (TPEG). Check with your high school counselor, the Dual Credit Office , or SJC Financial Aid for more information.
